Former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu, is expected to retire from the Nigeria Police Force on Thursday.
Magu who will be clocking the mandatory retirement age of 60 years on Thursday has been in the midst of controversy on his elevation to the level of Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) from the current level – Commissioner of Police.
The Police Service Commission Standing Committee had recommended him for promotion, but some officials in Attorney-General Office had said he could not be elevated until he was cleared.
“The decision to promote Magu followed the recommendation of the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba,” a senior official at the PSC disclosed.
Magu, who had been on suspension since July 2020 over allegations of corruption and insubordination was born on May 5, 1962 and enlisted into the Force on March 3, 1990. He was deployed to the EFCC on May 25, 2012.
